[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 422208, member: 3733"] I would buy a Stevens 30-06 and use that if I were you. Had a customer bring in a 410 last year, his kid was going to sit over a bear bait at 15 yards. Wanted the barrel ported so he could have his 12 year old shoot a bear with a slug. Well one shoulder shot rolled the bear and off he ran to parts unknown. Put the dogs on the track in the morning 3 miles later crossed a river and the track was lost. I've seen whittails puched with 12 gauges in the shoulders, go a very long way. Way further than I would want to see an elk run. I would only go for a rib cage shot thru the lungs, only reliable way to get a thru and thru. [/QUOTE]
